The fixed-term employment contract of a trade union delegate may only be terminated before expiry of the term due to serious misconduct or unfitness certified by the occupational physician, or on expiry of the term when the employer does not intend to renew a contract containing a renewal clause, after authorisation from the labour inspector.
This procedure applies during the periods provided for in Article L. 2411-5.
When the contract is concluded on the basis of 3° of article L. 1242-2, the employee benefits from protection when the employer intends either to terminate the employment contract before the expiry of the term, or not to renew it in breach of a renewal clause provided for in the employment contract, or by company agreement or branch agreement mentioned in article L. 1244-2-2. The protection periods are extended by a period equal to the usual period of interruption of the employee’s activity.
